From out Pandora’s box there flew the questions, answers, thoughts, feelings, and I gathered them like woman do within the confines of review.

When light shines forth upon the world and all in awe bow down there’ll be a fluttering of fear within the bowels of earth. She’s come to know, you see, the footsteps, sadness, tears, so long in residence upon the outskirts of her life. She’ll murmur softly, gently, and tremble slightly so unknowing that her [...]

From beneath the surface of burial grounds can be heard the sounds of restlessness and it’s like the sand moves underfoot and topples the stance of permanence.

I thought I caught it one day from that special river of soul where honesty forms a channel and truth a solid base. Lo and behold, an about-face and the choice for a time of the mighty sea until, as would happen, it became snared on the line of the world’s many lies. It landed [...]

The point of the matter a will-o’-the-wisp to disappear like dew in the day and take to the trails of fanciful schemes laid like a road towards definite goals. I left at seven suitably armed to restrain that point of the matter but it wiggled and squirmed out of my grasp and got lost in [...]

The pendulum unable to swing jumps hither/thither entwined with the strings of emotive vibes dangling free from the mental plane. Up/down/around like lightening in sky and joyous the crowds down below but suddenly a thunderous return shatters surface composure. And in the longing for a gentle swing detachment seeks to be known and as it [...]

It’s a lazy sun that rises now as if passion dead and gone and the sky that once inspired no longer energized. I talk as if I can be heard like hope whispers in the night and think of good and better days as if they’ll come again. But today I watch the inter-play and [...]
